Left or Right??

I know this is probably a bit of a pointless question (as most people will probably say whatever feels right?) but in a HH, Safari if that makes a difference, do you lay with your feet to the left or right of the entry slit? It's just that if I lay to the right my head gets right up to the bug net and this seems to be the way most people do it. Is there a "correct" way or not??

Every HH I have is set-up for your feet to be on the right side of the entry slit. The tie-outs are at different positions on the hammock specifically to allow more room in that area. Tie-outs for the shoulder area and the foot (actually knee) area. I don't have a Safari, so that one may be different.

Feet to the right... head to the left. Shoulders and knees roughly at the tie out points. It does make a difference. I knbow of people who do it the other way but they generally complain about the closeness of the bunet...

I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

A point of clarification (I can see myself getting this backwards...), when folks talk about left and right in a HH, they usually mean the right or left when laying in the hammock on their back. NOT when outside looking at the hammock from the foot end.
